Slumber with the Stars

Make an Evening of it!

Are you tired of traveling light years looking for something fun do to with your family? Slumber with the Stars brings the best of what Chabot has to offer into one exciting overnight adventure. Choose either a public themed event, or have the museum all to yourself during a private VIP evening.
